they dislike him being elected. but i think it's rather dangerous for them from a publicity point of view. i think there's been some confusion about the difference between franchise holders and ceos. as i understand it, the actual ceo of denny's came out and rather slapped down a franchise holder for his comments, saying that they don't represent the views of the chain as a whole. so there's, you know, corporate dangers in making any of these kind of statements. >> you have to wonder about the wisdom of mixing business and politics like that. but in walmart's case, workers could end up paying 8% to 36% more for medical coverage. the company has 1.4 million workers. some of them now say they're going to ditch coverage just to avoid paying out of pocket. let's talk about the long-term repercussions of this kind of thinking, david. how do you see that playing out? >> it's interesting, and for president obama, with a victory at the polls in his reelection, they put to rest that the republicans would try to overturn this

"we are here because the goals of the revolution have yet to be achieved" said this protester. morsi told the supporters he had to take radical measures to protect the revolution. and fast-track a new constitution being written by a mostly islamist assembly. after which, he said, he'd give up those powers. "yes, he might be a dictator for the time being, but these powers will be transferred to an elected parliament," he said. but the decrees have triggered protests and riots. dozens were injured in alexandria when angry youths stormed and set fire to morsi's muslim brotherhood headquarters. "this action makes him a dictator even more than hosni m
